Like some other phones around this price range, the Motorola draws power from the Snapdragon 636 SoC with Kyro 260 architecture which clocking a speed of 1.8GHz. The handset will be available exclusively on Flipkart. It will go on sale starting October 15.

The Moto One Power is expected to compete with the likes of Xiaomi Mi A2 and Nokia 6.1 Plus, which come with similar set of specifications, and so Motorola will likely price the smartphone in the same bracket-between Rs 14,000 to Rs 17,000. Up front, it has an 8MP camera for selfies. In terms of connectivity, Moto One Power supports 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C, 4G, VoLTE, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It now runs on Android 8.1 Oreo out-of-the-box and is scheduled to receive Android Pie in the coming weeks.
